Early voting opens for North Charleston special election

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) — Early voting is underway in North Charleston for a special election to replace two city council members who resigned in February amid a federal corruption probe.

Jerome Heyward (District 5) and Sandino Moses (District 3) were charged Feb. 26 in a year-long public corruption investigation that uncovered several schemes involving bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering. Both resigned shortly after the charges were announced.

The special election to fill their seats is scheduled for May 27, but voters who don’t want to wait until Election Day can cast a ballot early.

The two-week early voting period opens Monday, May 12, and closes Friday, May 23.
